Travel With Me To: Mount Royal (Montreal)

One of the places my sister and I visited while we were in Montreal was Mount Royal. Just a heads up – the next few posts will be about our Montreal trip. Mount Royal is a popular place in Montreal. It’s pretty much a small mountain that you can hike or drive up to. For the best view, it’s better to hike because you can get to places where a car can’t, but my sister and I were feeling lazy. Plus, it was dark when we decided to see Mount Royal. I think it was after 8 when we decided…

Travel With Me To: Oakland and Santa Clara

When my sister and I were in Northern California, her boyfriend suggested that we should visit Oakland and Santa Clara. I’ve heard of Oakland before because one of my best friends is from there, so I was pretty excited to visit the city. It took us about 45 minutes to get there. We went to the waterfront of Oakland and to be honest, we were a little nervous. We heard reviews of how bad the city was and how much crime there has been. We walked around the waterfront and noticed there weren’t too many people there. A lot of…

Travel With Me To: San Jose Museums

My sister and I visited two museums when we were in San Jose and both were free because we had a Bank of America card. The first museum we went to was the Tech Museum of Innovation.

We didn’t get the memo so we just showed up without kids. Even though it was a museum for children, we surprisingly had a good time. I thought the exhibits they had were pretty…

Travel With Me To: Lyon Street Steps

Lyon St is another street in San Francisco. My sister and I decided to go to the Lyon Street Steps because it’s supposedly one of the most beautiful places in San Francisco. Before we got there, she warned me ahead of time that there were going to be a lot of steps and that I will be out of breath. I didn’t think too much of it because I thought she was exaggerating. We were able to find street parking and we walked up a small set of stairs and thought, “That’s it? Not too bad.” Too pictures and then,…

Travel With Me To: Lombard St, San Francisco

For those of you who don’t know, Lombard St in San Francisco is the most crooked street in the world with eight hairpin turns. It’s a steep, one-block section that just attracts tourists. I’ve heard of Lombard St because I’ve seen pictures on my Instagram from other people but I never knew how popular it was. My sister and I were already in San Francisco so we figured, why not visit all the monumental places? So we drove to Lombard St, found street parking and walked about 5 minutes to Lombard St. There were a TON of tourists. I didn’t…
